@Caits Cole walked away from Estella.

For some reason I just now realized both of them have purplish shades for their text
Makes me weirdly happy XD

@BlackPanther

I saw that awhile ago.

@Caits Just FYI, Estella's half of the exchange with Cole, Barca would have learned with his Archive ability. Because she was typing it on a pad.

Esuterura Kuinu and Cole Morningstar

@BlackPanther@caits@YoshiSkittlez@Vicier

She listened to Cole's reasoning and request for not providing his last name. At least it appeared to be a valid reason. Though it was hard to tell if it was because of his family's status, some event, or something other. It did not really matter so much she supposed.

Very well, Cole.

A fair bit of noise was going on around them. Esuterura primarily ignored it. From best she could tell it was simple introductions for some. Others were possessed to puff themselves up and get in one another's faces. While she saw herself in a higher standing than the others such frivolous posturing was beneath her. There was also the matter that this was supposed to be a place or learning.

Tell me, is such aggressive behavior normal among the people of this world? I should hope not. I have seen enough conflict from my world

"Thank you" he gave a small bow that accompanied the thanks. As he rose he too seemed to be completely ignoring the choas going on around them. While he relished in pure chaos, his attention was on Esuterua. Priorities for him was her then whatever everything else was. He was certain after all that he would run into the choas causers at some point during his stay at the school.

Cole tilted his head as she spoke and gave a rather honest answer. "I'm afraid I'm just as in the unknown as you in that matter. I have only been up here for two years." he managed a glance around as one guy sliced up some plants and others were generally puffing themselves up. "It may be due to age. Perhaps they require maturing." A faint smile accompanied the statement.

Discipline breeds self control. A quality perhaps lacking in their lives.

The alien had turned to watch as well and watched briefly before turning her attention back to Cole. Two years was a fair amount of time in her eyes to learn how people acted. Though perhaps it was the company the young man kept that lead him to believe he was not familiar with the world at large.

Difficult to say without reading their minds. I refrain from doing that because it would be an invasion of privacy.

Cole raised a brow at her words, seeming to ponder them for a moment. "That is true" He could sense her studying him. Perhaps wondering why two years wasn't enough. Or maybe it was his....magnetism affecting her. He really couldn't be quite certain.

Cole nodded. "understandable. Though I have a feeling that we will learn more about our classmates as the year continues on." He gave small shrug. "If you do not mind me asking...where are you from?" he was curious now. After all he was expecting to only run into humans...to find that he was wrong about that made him more curious.

Suteruraru, princess to the house of Kuinu, my namesake. A planet far from here.

She glanced up at the sky. It was not very hard to get that kind of information from Esuterura. She was quite proud of her heritage and talking of it helped keep the memories alive. She'd only been on Earth for a few months but her journey here would have been a long one. Not so much for her, being in hypersleep and traveling at extreme speeds she would have changed very little. However outside that sphere time would have continued on without her. Without a proper reference it was hard to say just how much time would have passed before she was awoken here. Hundreds or years perhaps thousands. If ever she were to make the trip back things surely would not be the same as she left it.

Deep in thought it was clear that where she came from also had history that ran deep. Esuterura wasn't one to cry though and kept composure, though one could likely tell she was saddened. Looking back down to the grounds and people around them the reality of where she was had begun to sink in. It wasn't something she wanted to face but the realist in her was strong.

I will likely never see my world again. Even if I did I doubt I would recognize it. That is the unfortunate reality I confront. I suppose I should be greatful to have found a world so accepting of me despite its flaws.

Esuterura did not generally like shooting down her own superiority complex. But she did try to be honest as best she could. And when she could not she would often say nothing at all. Which in Cole's case was exceptionally easy as she couldn't even properly comminucate with him. The prospect was actually slightly ammusing. She always enjoyed hiding her thoughts, now she could hide her words.

Cole gave a head tilt. "That sounds wonderous." he have a glance toward the sky. "Maybe you could point out relatively where it is for me" that statement was paired with a small smile. For him far away planets sounded akin to paradise. Somewhere where he didn't have to worry about seeing his prison of a home ever again.

a glance toward her and he could tell she was deep in thought. Perhaps she missed her home. Something he could never relate to, but from listening to a few people...could understand. He was half mutant after all. Feelings weren't nearly as foreign to him as...other...people. He tilted his head at the next bit.

"It is a good realm...and while I do not accept the humans aptitude of acceptance...I cannot help but wonder how far that acceptance stretches." He paused...studying her. "Perhaps later I can devolve more about where I come from...but I fear you would come to put distance." he looked away. Sometimes he felt emotions were a hindrance. Making him cautious about spreading his name...his origins. it made it fickle to try to decide what path to take but at the same time, emotions added another element to discovery. The whole human experience.

If I knew I would point it out. The stars in the sky are unfamiliar to me and I have not had the chance to plot that out. Quite difficult without a point of reference in time and space.

Looking back at Cole she tried to imagine what knig of thing his family name had done. Though to be fair she had little to go by and likely wouldn't even recognize the name if she heard it. Perticularly if he was not of this world himself.

If you don't feel comfortable speaking the name or your past you need not. Doubtful I would know of it were you to tell me. I am quite unaquainted with Earth and its history.

Though she didn't like using the pad she seemed to be adjusting, her hand gliding across the keys the more she used it. She paused a moment to ponder her next message. Esuterura was being quite open about herself which was not something she had expected to happen on the first day. There was something odd about Cole that was unusually inviting. She hadn't really noticed, however now being aware its affect seemed to wane.

Curious. Have you an influence? I've little to hide but I cannot help but feel you've enchanted me.

Cole looked somewhat disappointed, but nodded. Perhaps later they could find her planet in the sky.

Cole appreciated her next statements. He seemed to be able to read the words as quickly as she wrote them, taking them in like a sponge. He truly loved reading. It was a form of escape like no other. To mentally travel to fantasy was something he highly enjoyed. He gave a small nod. "You have a point so then, since you have revealed so much to me....It would only be fair to return the show of trust. Though I must ask of you not to tell others...at least...not yet" He gave a small pause clearly he was gathering himself.

"My surname is morningstar and I am from what is known as hell. I escaped two years ago...and i spent that time researching my mother and well running" He gave a faint smile. It was an immense show of trust from him, but this also showed his more gentleman side. Fair was fair and he did believe in that along with his word. Honor was more valuable then something built upon lies.

Cole tilted his head at her next question before giving another nod. "I do. Though usually it is much stronger on the female sex....perhaps that is why i am so inclined to stay around you as well. Quite a peculiar couple of individuals we are." He found himself more interested in her now...after all he was more used to women going insane over his presence and now that he realized it....she was not. It was a whole new experience for him.

I should say so. Well you should be pleased to know that your charm and candor are a welcome surprise. One could hope something comes of it being on level footing.

Exactly what she meant by that last statement Esuterura would leave to interpretation. However she seemed mostly finished with the conversation and looked over to the others. Content to watch at this point she was now a little more interested in their shenanigans. Not that she wanted to be part of it, but with a slightly new perspective she wanted to learn from it. The pad stayed in her hand on the occasion shw would need it again.

At the same time she wondered if anyone was actually going to come out to greet them. It seemed rather rude to keep them ouside in the sun like this when perfectly comfortable buildings, that were to become their home, were before them.

Cole chuckled. "Why thank you. You were quite pleasent to get to know as well."

Cole felt his own eyes scan the other students as well. "Well. I shall bid you a good day then and leave you to meeting other students. Perhaps we can meet up again at some point" He lightly gave a small bow before starting to walk off. His goal of perhaps finding that guy with the owl. He seemed interesting.

Galaxy Of Monsters - Alien Monster Hunter RP

@Thecrash20@Lmpkio Sounds better. Though I'm slightly curious if the Bio-Blaster "ammo" could be used to eat tiny holes in the hull of a ship, given they can eat through metal. Kind of wondering how it eats through metal given that different metals have stronger or weaker molecular bonds. I would assume it is through chemical reactions to weaken said bonds that the parasites then are able to break by eating.

Given their tiny size it would require a fairly regular stream to eat away at things like metal armor because each would not be able to carry that much caustic chemicals to quickly eat a hole though. I see this working sort of like an acid gun except instead of firing a liquid it fires the parasites as payloads for the chemicals. Obviously softer materials would be quicker and easier to get through. If this is a fair representation of the Bio-Blaster then I am okay with this.

@6slyboy6 To be fair, Harriet has a kind of natural armor that can grow back as part of her biology and she can adapt to some extent. Theoretically she would be the embodiment of a bio-being you describe. But she has no range as far as that's concerned. :P For that she relies on your more traditional sci-fi weaponry.

@Lmpkio I know. But for consistency sake.

Galaxy Of Monsters - Alien Monster Hunter RP

Harriet Matthias

Name: Harriet Matthias

Species: Hemiplantae (formerly Homo Sapien)

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Height: 162cm

Weight: 72kg

Personality: Harriet is an ambitious woman. No matter what obstacle gets in her way she will do her best to push through. She also is somewhat impulsive, which is what lead her to join on the GAHL scene despite her parent's objection. Probably making things worse she can also be playful which gets her into trouble. This has only been further enhanced by her newfound freedom in nature. Much to most relief she is not an environmental nut, despite now being her own house plant.

History: System CL-3078 (later named Flora) holds one life bearing planet, Flora e. Discovered one decade ago it sports the unique trait that every life form present falls under the broad term of vegetation. Even the creatures that are not rooted to the ground appear to be plantlife. After remote study with probes and drones for several years a team of scientists went down to the surface to set up a lab and perform experiments. Harriet was the newbie of a team hired through the GAHL to keep them safe from any danger. The pay was good, especially since everything on Flora b appeared docile. The job however was set to be long term, three years.

While not a scientist herself, Harriet certainly learned a whole lot about the things that lived here from the scientists who never seemed to stop talking. All life on this planet seemed to be closely related with foreign DNA being present. Organisms exhibited high levels of regenerative and adaptive capabilities, changing to adapt to environment and stimuli. There was evidence to suggest that at some point other species existed but were suddenly wiped out. Despite what was known there were far more questions than answers. A year and four months later a drastic change occurred when everything began to flower. While exceedingly beautiful the peaceful environment became extremely hostile. A majority of the team was caught out in the field and were lost, likely killed. The temporary facility wasn't that safe either with many creatures contained inside and horrifically large ones rampaging outside. However the monsters seemed only to be interested in exterminating the invading humans, completely ignoring each other.

Harriet managed to ride out the carnage until the creatures returned to being peaceful. Things had changed though, visibility was severely obscured by a yellow haze that the woman presumed to be pollen. Breathing it was unavoidable with almost all the equipment either missing or destroyed. It was then that she learned just what happened to the other species on the planet and why everything was so closely related. While no scientist Harriet could see that whatever was in the air was mutating her. Spores released by a parasitic species had already changed everything else into plant hybrids and now the same process was happening to Harriet. Her DNA being mingled with the parasite she was changed from the inside out to be like every other creature on the planet. Becoming docile like all the other creatures around her she didn't really have the chance to panic.

For several months the newly transformed woman simply existed and moved about on autopilot without any conscious thought. Eventually though her mind returned to her and she began to work on getting off the planet. Alone it took her nearly two years to gather leftover parts and repair the spacecraft to escape. Returning to GAHL she narrowly avoided becoming a lab experiment thanks to agreements with the organization when she signed onto the job. That didn't mean she was out of the woods yet. While she instinctively could take care of herself there was still a lot about her new physiology she didn't understand and that others would need to get past. And somehow she had to convince someone in the GAHL to take her aboard after being altered by unknown alien species and with relatively little experience.

Weapons/Supplies:

• Tolian Harmonic Blade (See Appearance Above) A piece of equipment that Harriet picked up on the CL-3078 e job. Hewn from an energetic blue crystal the blade's micro vibrations cut through organic material easily. While not as potent as a pure energy blade it works passively with little maintenance and no need for a power source.
• MT3 Plasma Pistol (See Bio Armor Below) A single small plasma pistol that accompanies the bio suit. While not packing a whole lot of punch it does like to burn through softer materials fairly quickly. Doubling as a cutting and welding tool Harriet took to it quickly after having been stuck on that planet for two years.
• Modified Class-12 Bio Armor A tough but light armor originally designed for survival in hazardous environments and easy transition into pressurized and unpressurized areas. What it lacks in raw stopping power it makes up for in, speed, agility, and versatility. Due to Harriet's unique biological requirements the suit has been heavily modified and only partially resembles its original design. Providing her with artificial sunlight, CO2, and water she could effectively live inside the suit indefinitely so long as power and supplies last. The hermetic seal can be broken to allow gasses to move in and out of the suit while still providing adequate filtration in hostile atmospheric and chemical conditions. This can save on supplies and allow easier respiration. When not in use it is stored in a lock box that finds a home in whatever place, station, or ship Harriet finds herself on.
  
  Bio Armor

  
• M-801 Charger (Photon Lance) Having seen her previous team being overpowered and under supplied, Harriet used what little funds to purchase a M-801 upon her return. A common mining laser capable of burning through stone and softer metals with relative ease. It however was bulky and requires a heavy power source. Gutting the tool and dialing down the strength, Harriet fitted the components in a more manageable medium rifle chassis themed after her own appearance. Has two firing modes, first being a more standard pulse rifle and the second being a seven second sustained beam that requires cooldown after use.
  Photon Lance

  

Misc: Her hair and skin have been replaced with soft leaves that cover her body. She actually has a mix of endo/exo skeletal structure with a tough fibers woven together just under her skin as well as her bones being formed the same way. Acting like an evergreen she does not yellow during a planet's fall or winter season.

The same parasite that adapted Harriet to be its host also adapts her for her environment. Her body will react to temperature in order to keep her stable, harden to resist impact and injury, soften to allow her easier movement and fitting into smaller spaces, grow thorns for defense or attack, partially allow reshaping of limbs, counteract and produce several poisons and toxins, and even allow her regenerative abilities. All that said she does have limitations and doing too much can leave her weak and require time to recover. Encountering new plantlife can also afford her the opportunity to mimic their various properties.

Even though she can survive for months on water and sunlight alone she can still eat as another measure to get energy. However her new physiology makes it much more difficult to utilize modern power armor for protection. It is just too restrictive and not at all designed to allow full body respiration of a photosynthetic species.

Species: Hemiplantae

Scientific Name: Hemiplantae (literally translates to Half-Plant)

Threat Level: 10 (Invasive)

Height: Varies

Length: Varies

Weight: Varies

Description: Hemiplantae is an invasive species that infects other lifeforms via spores and turns them into plant variants of the original. Traits of the host become incorporated into the gene pool and passed on to later generations. A general form of the host is retained despite being completely transformed inside and out. Extremely adaptable, the range of compatible species is broad and left unchecked Hemiplantae is capable of completely taking over a planet's fauna and flora (as was the case with planet CL-3078 e). It is believed to have been seeded on the planet by an alien species for purposes unknown. Being a planet of lower lifeforms sentience has only recently been achieved via human visitation and subsequent infection.

@Silvan Haven Ah. Didn't know that either. Well at least I know she's essentially alone as far as posts are concerned.
